COMPOSITION OF MATTER FOR USE IN THE TREATMENT OF FABRICS.

No Drawing.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ED HAMBLIN, J12, a citizen of the United States, residing at -Woodward, in the county of Woodward and State of Oklahoma, have invented a new and useful Composition of Matter for Use in the Treatment of Fabrics, of which the following is a Specification.

This invention relates to a composition of matter designed primarily for use in the treatment of cloth such as used on the rails of pool tables and billiard tables.

It is a well-known fact that the cloth on the rails soon becomes worn because of the impact of balls thereagainst at certain points. This is particularly true at the sides of the openings to the pockets of pool tables and at the corners of billiard tables.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a preparation which can be applied to the fabric at the points where it is subjected to the greatest wear, this preparation serving to strengthen the fabric so that it can resist wear and prolong the life of the cloth.

Another object is to provide a composition of matter of this type which can be easily applied to the cloth and, when applied, will not interfere with the rebounding of balls propelled thereagainst.

lVith the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists of two mixtures which, after being brought together can be applied with an ordinary paint brush to those parts of the fabric to be protected. The first of these mixtures consists of the following ingredients substantially in the proportions stated, to wit:

4 Per cent by volume.

A volatile thinner (turpentine or the like) 7 Varnish resin Aluminum resinate 10 Serial No. 45,720.

The second mixture consists of the following ingredients substantially in the proportions stated, to wit:

Eighty-six and two-thirds percent of the first mixture are combined with thirteen and one-third percent of the second mixture and after these ingredients have been thoroughly stirred the preparation can be applied to the cloth at those points where it is to be protected, an ordinary paint brush being used for this purpose. The prep-aration will dry quickly and will impart to the cloth a wear resisting quality which will prolong the life of the cloth several times. Thus the cost of maintaining pool tables and billiard tables is materially reducech hat is claimed is:

1. A composition of matter for use in the treatment of the rail fabric of pool tables and the like, including a mixture of varnish resin and aluminum resinate with a volatile thinner and another mixture of 7 glue, shellac and banana oil, approximately 86 percent of the first mixture being combined with 13 /9, percent of the second mixture.

2. A composition of matter for use in the 7 treatment of the rail fabric of pool tables and the like, including a mixture of substantially 15% of varnish resin, 10% of aluminum resinate, and of avolatile thinner, substantially 86 percentiof this mixture being combined with 13 A of a mixture comprising glue, 33% shellac 33 70 and banana oil 33%%.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto aflixed my signature.

ED HAMBLIN, J12.
